Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

    Unfortunately your fictional rich guy probably survives, since the majority of the Hindenburg’s passengers survived.

      Well…silver lining. It was the late 1930s. I doubt he’s still alive NOW!!!

      Bad news is, nqzis for some reason seem to have made a comeback.

      I’ve been downvoted in the past for saying this, but I truely believe we need to legalize murder. HEAR ME OUT…

      If you’re a nazi, and I mean a legit nazi, have swastica tattoos, participate in rallys, ect, I think murder should be 100% legal.

      You show up, you have a swastica, BANG! One less nazi.

      “Oh, did you hear? Lost_My_Mind is a murderer!”

      “What??? That’s CRAZY??? What happened???”

      “Well, we were at a Wendys, he ordered the chicken nuggets, then he was complaining to himself at how small the nuggets were, and how shrinkflation is real…and then a dude with swastikas on his jacket showed up. Lost_My_Mind grabbed a knife and stabbed him hundreds of times.”

      “Oh…well what else was supposed to happen? He did the right thing. Well, except for ordering the nuggets. That’s just encouraging companies to KEEP shrinking their products…but the murder is fine. Could have used the blood as a dipping sauce!”

      “Ew, no!”

      “You’re right. That’s the line. That went too far. We found the line, and that line is lite canabalism. You can kill nazis, but not eat them.”

        As a pacifist (at least in the technical sense) I’m bound to disagree with you on that, but I also think the ones that are stupid enough to have swastika tattoos or even just publicly call themselves nazis aren’t really the ones that we should be worried about. The ones that are really dangerous wear a suit and tie.
